In the 15th round of the Brazilian Serie B, Santos will face Ituano. The match will take place on the night of Tuesday, July 16, starting at 01:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match is provided by Dailysports experts.
Santos
Santos is historically a strong club that has produced numerous international stars, but last season was a catastrophic failure, as the team was relegated from the elite division of Brazilian football.
There is little doubt that the "Peixe" will return to Serie A. The team immediately began demonstrating their intentions on the pitch and, after 14 matches, they top the Serie B standings with the best attack line in the division.
Ituano
Ituano has been trying to establish itself as a mid-table team in the second tier of Brazilian football since winning Serie C two years ago. The team has long struggled in the lower tiers of local football and does not aim to be promoted to the elite.
The primary goal for the club is to maintain their place in Serie B, as after 14 matches, Ituano is second to last in the standings, with the most goals conceded among all teams in the league.
Interesting facts and head-to-head encounters
- Santos has not conceded a goal in four consecutive matches.
- Ituano has not won an away match since August of last year.
- In the last five head-to-head matches, the home team has always won.
Santos vs Ituano Prediction
The teams are at opposite ends of the standings, so there is little doubt about the home team's victory. I predict a win for Santos and a total of fewer than 4.5 goals.
